What does Nylon flock really mean? I just received this blanket and it says Nylon with insulated base. What is "insulated base"?

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

The outside is slick nylon. I really like this sleeping bag. It is better than $300 bags i have bought in the past for extreme camping.

It's not nylon. It's thinner and less elastic than fleece. It does have a fuzzy feeling to the outside that's relatively quiet. My knife hanging off the belt strap made more noise clunking on things than the pack did. B

It is one ply but very thick. It is very warm and feels so soft. I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and then just now bought another for me after having seen hers. I love the color and it is so soft and warm. My seven year old grand daughter curls up in it and is asleep in no time. Love this blanket. I give it five stars.

Dave this is the response I received from Mambe. I was simply impressed to get an answer. Hope this helps in your decision making process.Thank you for your note. Specific temp ratings are tricky to assign due to the many factors involved when using a blanket outdoors. However, the Super Extreme is often used down into the teens or even lower with great results.

I didn't even notice this myself until it was pointed out to me in another posting, but the different colors/prints have different types of fabric. The Trekk is microfiber, some of the others are nylon. I wouldn't have even thought to look at that. Personally, I'd prefer the microfiber because I think the nylon would get hot and stay hot longer in the summer heat. So far, we've had some pretty hot weather and I've been able to just plop my son into the seat without worrying about the temperature. :-)

I don't know what the material thickness of these Mylar blankets is and that information is of, at best, little importance. What you should understand is that these blankets were not designed to provide any real real insulation and warmth like an ordinary wool or synthetic material blanket would; they were only designed to stop the wind and to reflect body heat back towards the person using them.

I would say that it is nylon. it is by far the thickest cover we have ever purchased. Definitely worth the money! We've had it for 6 months and it has held up very well to the winds of Kansas and shows no wear at all!

I believe it is a blend. It is much nicer than the nylon cheaper versions. It is probably more polyester than cotton - but definitely has a cotton look and feel to it. It is something that looks good and adds to the decor of a playroom or kids room. I bought for my grandson and he loves is and I babysit for a little girl that has a Haba Tent as well - different theme - and she loves hers as well. Seeing hers is what made me feel confident in buying for my grandson.

I would describe the blanket as more cotton-like and warm. We also wash our blankets weekly because our dogs sleep with us and the blankets have developed little "nobbies" on them. I thought the blankets were going to be more brownish...they are definitely purple.

I'm sure it is Alpaca. It is very warm which you will not get with acrylic. Acrylic is cold to the touch, if cold outside. This blanket is cosy. It would make sense that the binding is not 100 percent alpaca. The binding needs to be strong to prevent fraying

I haven't a clue and don't have the packaging anymore. It is a great blanket that has 20 settings. Setting 20 runs me out of the bed. I'm cold blooded and have the blanket at about 14 on cold nights. Hope this helps.

It's is more of a soft microfiber material. It's isn't microfiber, but that is the best way to describe it. I am sure if you drug it through burs you would pick some up, but it's not like fleece where anything and everything sticks to it

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I've had the flu. This blanket is made of 90 % Acrylic and 10 % Polyester Fibers. It was made in Mexico. Wash in cold water, I put it in our dryer on the lowest heat, air dry setting and it's fine. Here is a website that maybe helpful. www ramatexinternalional.com. It is very warm but does "shed" leaving some fuzzies on black clothing. This would work well on a twin bed. We use it over the back of our couch. It is too small for a full-size or larger bed. Hope this helps you out!!!!

Sorry the the lack of specifics. I don't exactly know what it is, but it feels like a vinyl like type of coating. The textile material itself, that is coated, is most likely nylon.

I don't know, but the Woolrich Hudson blanket is warm and thicker than many other blankets.

I'm sorry I don't remember what the packaging said. I purchased it for my daughters dogs. It is the softest blanket imaginable.
